File Summary

Exhibit E-1 is a location and directions guide issued by the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) Procurement and Contracting Services (PCS) division for the submission of in-person bids related to IFB No. HHS0017153. The document specifies that the Procurement and Contracting Services office, where bids must be delivered, is located at 1100 W. 49th Street in Austin, Texas. The building is a single-level structure with a main entrance on the east side, accessible via North Loop on the north side or Grover Road on the west side of the complex. The office operates during standard business hours of 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. and can be reached at 512-406-2500 for customer service inquiries. Free parking is available on both the east and west sides of the building, with ADA-accessible spaces located closest to the main entrance.
